Hundreds of thousands of educators, parents, and students are embracing “Race to Nowhere,” a new documentary that exposes the silent epidemic in our education system. Our high-pressure, high-stakes culture has invaded our schools and children’s lives, creating unhealthy, disengaged, unprepared and stressed-out youth. Created by first-time filmmaker Vicki Abeles, the film tells the stories of young people pushed to the brink, burned-out teachers and deeply frustrated parents.
